Title: Very nice compact design
Review: I was looking for a new camera bag that would fit my basic, but expanding, DSLR set up. I have an old medium size Tenba messenger bag that is great and still holding up, but it’s getting too tight to fit even the small stuff that I have in it. I have a Nikon D3200, 2 lenses with plans to buy a third soon, external flash, travel tripod, larger tripod, and other small accessories. I tried several other larger messenger style bags, but they just felt too bulky. And while I like camera backpacks for comfort, I don’t like how you can’t grab your camera for quick shots. I primarily wanted something for when I travel and daytrips in town, so a sling bag seemed to fit what I was looking for in comfort and quick access. I bought this and also the Case Logic DCB-308.After receiving both, I quickly decided to return the Case Logic sling bag because the difference in quality felt quite substantial. Considering I only paid about $15 more for the Lowepro Slingshot, it was a pretty easy decision. The only thing I liked more about the Case Logic sling bag was that it could hold more, and it was more customizable. The only drawback to the Slingshot is that you can’t really configure it how you want. The velcro is placed in strips, instead of covering the whole back of the bag, so you can pretty much only configure it one way. Also, the space is quite tight. I can probably fit 3 lenses in the main compartment with an external flash, but it will be tight. On the other hand, this makes the bag very slim, and you can move around a crowd alot easier. The Case Logic bag felt bulky. I think this bag is perfect for day trips, travelling, touristing, and hiking. The rain cover is a huge plus, as is the water bottle holder. The tripod holder could also fit a larger 60 inch tripod I have, if I ever want to take it anywhere. The velcro tabs adjust by quite a bit. It would not fit in the Case logic bag.In terms of quality, the Slingshot blows the Case Logic away. Just feeling it, you can tell it’s just a much nicer product. This feels like it should last at least 10 years if not longer, and is as good if not better than my old Tenba bag that has lasted about 7. The Case Logic feels like it would probably start breaking down in a couple of years, but it isn’t a horrible bag. The Slingshot is definitely worth the extra money, even though you do give up some space.

Title: Excellent bag, but a bit smaller than expected
Review: I own three other Lowepro cases for various travel situations, but I was attracted to the Slingshot Edge 250 for an upcoming trip to China where there are severe intra-country weight restrictions for carryon gear (11 lbs). I needed a case that would hold my camera, two lenses, my tablet, and some emergency toiletries and underware/socks. This case works but just barely.What is great about this case? Quality materials and workmanship. Terrific protective padding for expensive camera gear. Only six inches thick, so case is very slim to wear. The slingshot style (as opposed to a backpack with dual straps), is convenient and gets around some museum and public venue restrictions on backpacks. Fits under most airline seats.What am I able to stuff into the case? A Canon 80D with an attached 18-135mm lens with a lens hood in a reverse position, a 28mm prime lens with hood, Canon charger and battery, 2 spare SD cards, small wired microphone, a Samsung 9.7 inch tablet, a ziplock bag with minimal toiletries, 2 pair of underware and light weight socks, and car keys. Externally, case allows for a compact tripod and a bottle of water. That’s it. Case is maxed out. There is no room for a third lens or external flash. Wireless microphone system? Forget it. Be aware that the 9.7 tablet just barely fits. I doubt a larger tablet would fit.If these space limits meet your needs, as they do mine, I can enthusiastically recommend this case. If you have a full frame camera you might find this case is too small due to the shallow depth. I’ve attached a picture of the camera compartment so you can see what it looks like with gear in it.

Title: Really nice .. But
Review: This is the nicest photo bag I have ever owned, but it is not the nicest photo bag out there. Prime Day helped me get this one because I’m a cheap bass who thinks more than $100 for a bag is ridiculous.The camera department in this bag is wonderful. I use a DSLR camera: Pentax K-3 iii, and three main lenses, a Pentax SMC 10-17mm fish-eye (my normal everyday lens on my camera most of the time), Rokinon 8mm fish-eye, and a Pentax D FA 28-105mm walk around street lens. I also have a battery grip that is normally on my camera, but this bag is too small / stiff to keep it on, an LED light, three camera batteries in a 3D printed holder, and an adjustable ND filter. This is all packed into the camera section and fits very snug, but very accessible. I wanted to have a little more room to keep my battery grip on my camera, but it isn’t a game changer that it doesn’t work (possible game changer / return below).The top section is wide open. I suggest using smaller travel bags in there because it is, wide open. I have one travel bag that holds the camera remotes, lens clothes, tool kit (folds up like a Swiss Army knife), pencil, sticky notes, and camera body cap. Then a pull closed bag that’s got the battery charger mount, chord, wall charger, and a grey white balance card. Randomly tossed in there are my head lamps (I mainly hike at night here in Utah because HOT days), and a small LED flashlight (in the zipper pocket of the bag).My little hiking tripod fits really nice down the back of this back (THE reason I got the bag – my other cross body back does NOT work well with a tripod and I hike at night with shutter speeds in the seconds, not fractions of seconds, so I have to have a tripod).That is how I have the bag packed at the moment. I will probably move a few things around after the first hike. I do haul this bag around with me on the daily, and this is where I have a gripe.The strap is “fine” when it is on, across your body. I am a 6′ tall man, in the 250# range. So I am not a small person, but I am also not huge. The strap on this thing is nice and wide, feels like it will break in well, BUT it is short, and not very happy accepting a strap mount quick release camera clip (it fits, but it crunches the strap). My camera clip is only about 2 inches from the end of the padded portion of the strap, and still sits up near my collar bone when I have the bag across my body. The small strap that you can also wear that goes under your arm is at the lowest part of its travel just under my camera clip.Hopefully this “end of adjustments” wear of the straps will be comfortable, but if you are a larger, taller person, just be prepared to run the adjustments out to their limits. I had my girlfriend look for me to see if maybe I was wearing the bag very low on my back, or had something setup weird, and she said it was nice and high on my back, and it didn’t look like anything was still wrapped up weird. We’ll see, but it is not a system designed with people with large frames.Finally by biggest complaint, and what might lead me to send this back is how it feels to throw it over the left shoulder for walking to your car or just casually hanging out and not wanting to throw the entire bag over your head to wear it across your body. It does NOT work well at all as a shoulder bag, at all, even a little, no sir.The strap is entirely designed (and well) to be used as a cross body bag. It is off center to help it hold well across your body and over your head. This means that if you want to use it on your shoulder, you’re going to have to use one hand on the strap to keep it on your shoulder, or it will slide right off. I do not like wearing a full backpack when I hike (short 4 mile hikes at most) so I wear a sling bag. I only really throw it over my head and wear it across my body when I am hiking, not in my daily life. I load the bag pretty heavy, I am “squishy” so I look like a snowman when it is wrapped around me as a cross body bag.I’ll give it this week to see how frustrated I get with the shoulder slippage and I hope I will figure out a technique to keep it there. If it can’t hang, I’ll request a return.

Review: I have been using the Lowepro Slingshot Edge 150AW bag for a while, the 150AW is a very convenient bag for a short trip, but now that I planned for a long trip I need a larger bag to carry some more essential items and I have chosen the Lowepro Slingshot Edge 250AW for it’s larger compartment on the top and at the bottom.I am very happy that Amazon shipped this bag real fast, this bag is designed the same way as the smaller 150AW except larger in size which is exactly what I need, since I don’t carry extra lens the top portion of the bag is perfect for a light rain jacket, a hat, sunscreen, snacks, some basic camera accessories such as lens filters, a power bank, and some cables.When fully loaded this bag feels very light when carrying on the back, thanks to Lowepro for the nice weight distribution design, I like the hidden strap to secure the bag when ridding on the bike or running.The bag is well made and the padding provides much protection for the camera and the accessories. The camera compartment is good for mirrorless and small size DSLR, there is enough room for small lenses and accessories. The zippers are very smooth and easy to use. It has a mesh pocket on the side for the water bottle, and it has straps for a small travel tripod on the front panel. There is a couple of pouches behind the front panel for pen, key, and maps, the map pouch is not recommended for an important item such as a passport since this pouch is not secured. On the top of the camera compartment there are two small pouches behind the elastic band for SD cards, keep the SD card in their own plastic container and put it in the pouch behind the elastic band to secure it. The top compartment has a mesh pouch for small items, at the front side there is a deeper pocket for a small tablet, I wish Lowepro would put a zipper on this pocket so that it can be used for important travel documents, in the middle there is enough space to put essential items that I had mentioned above, at the bottom of the bag there is a rain cover in the hidden pocket which is very useful in downpour situation.It would be nice if Lowepro would add a secured pocket inside this bag for the important items such as a passport, include a strap to secure the water bottle and that would make this Slingshot Edge 250AW a great bag for day trips. In summary, this is a very nice bag for people who like to travel light.

Review: Me decidí por la 150 y acerté de pleno. La mochila es de calidad, robusta y cabe perfectamente la Omd 10 Mark 2, dos objetivos y accesorios. Tiene bolsillos muy útiles, uno exterior para la botella de agua, lo que encuentro importante. En el superior caben la cartera, gafas, móvil etc. Tiene un bolsillo para un ipad mini, libreta etc

Review: First up, I’m a big fan of sling type camera bags having owned a number over the years, just find them more convenient to use than backpacks particularly if you photograph on the move (gun and run is the fashionable phrase, I believe).Being a Lowepro this one is very well made with quality materials and is very comfortable to carry. Did a full day out recently and had my Lumix G9 with the PL100-400 attached in the main compartment along with the Lumix 14-140ii lens, spare batteries and remote shutter release. The top compartment was plenty big enough for my Nikon Z6 with the 24-200 lens attached with room to spare. The outer (full length) pocket had lens microfibre cloth and a set of 67mm filters and the tripod was strapped securely to the back. No problems carrying it around all day long.On another trip when I just took the Nikon with the 24-200 in the main compartment, this left oodles of space in the top compartment for all the normal personal possessions that you carry about with you – wallet, mobile phone, face covering, monkey nuts for the local squirrels.In other words, it’s a very versatile bag. Don’t be fooled by it’s compact dimensions, it really can hold quite a lot if you give it a bit of thought – highly recommended.
